Eden Estrada, from Los Angeles, took the world by storm while working as a male model, but she always knew she wasn't in the right body.

At just 18-years-old, Eden accepted her true self and began her transition from male to female, completing it with top and bottom surgery at the age of 21.

Eden said: “My modelling career started before I transitioned - I was in Vogue when I was 16. It was really strange for me modelling before I transitioned because my body wasn’t fully there. Now that I’m doing it, I feel amazing.

“To medically transition was basically the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done in my life because, to see your body, your mind and your soul finally change and be the person you wanted to be there’s no way to describe that.”

Now the beautiful model shares her experiences on her YouTube channel and Instagram - Eden The Doll.

Eden grew up in a conservative home as a Jehovah’s Witness and although her family were initially unsure of her transition, now they are all fully support her decision.

She said: “A year ago, I stayed true to myself and let him know, who I was, what I was and the type of person that I am, and at the end of the day I am a woman no matter what anyone wants to call me.

“My family, at first, wasn’t supportive at all. It was unfortunate but I gave it time and things are much different now.”

Eden’s mum Lilly Barraza said: “For me at the beginning, it was a shock. I felt very strange but at the same time I’m now pleased because I see that she is happy and if she is happy, then I am happy too.”

Although Eden has modelled for Bellami hair products and walked for Marco Marco’s shows, her main focus is her position as a social media influencer and YouTuber.

Eden said: “I’m not just transgender, I’m a normal 21-year-old woman who has to deal with a lot of theory stuff. There’s a lot to me than being trans.

“I think about where my life was a year ago and I truly am so, so grateful. I just really want to be a good role model for people, that’s the entire reason I made my YouTube channel was to hopefully change someone’s life, and if I can do it, you can do it too.”
